The door opens slowly on its rusty hinges, as if the hand that propels it is afraid of what it might find. The village street is bathed in silence and the long shadows of sunrise.

A patch of motion slips through the crack in the door, seeming to shift and shimmer through many forms as it crosses the little lawn, coalescing into an amorphous density of dancing motes.

She lowers the camera and watches as it approaches the car, crossing the unfamiliar territory between them. A voice unheard touches her mind,

“You summoned me…”

Last week I posted a photograph as a writing prompt on the suggestion of Michelle Clements James. It isn’t something I have done before… and I was so pleased with the response! I have already featured most of them on the blog over the past week, but here they all in in case you missed them.

Do click through to read the stories and poems this little door has sparked in so many creative minds… you won’t be disappointed and you may just find that beyond the door there are writers you have never read and friends you have yet to discover.

Press a button or two to share... go on, make my day :)

Oooh great story Sue, even a little sinister. Left it open for the imagination to conjure all sorts. Is he summoned for good or mischief – very intriguing? Great round up too, a chance to catch up on any stories missed. It’s such a good range of ideas from the same image – love it. KL ❤

You know, for me, this prompt, and the results that manifested opened all kinds of doors to magical worlds full of different perspectives, for me – hmmm… who would have guessed that even a ‘picture’ of the door transports you to world of wonder! Really enjoyed reading the work of all those who participated!
